Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I used to like r/FanFiction as somewhere to talk (and vent) about FanFiction tropes. You could talk about thinks you didn't like and everyone was pretty chill: no bashing of people who do like that thing, no naming of specific works or authors, etc.

But now there's always someone chiming in to say you shouldn't post negative opinions, specifically because writers might see your post and feel bad about their work.

On some level, I get it. I can be pretty sensitive about my own stuff. But it's supposed to be a place for all kinds of FanFic discussions -- not primarily for supporting writers. Readers shouldn't have to worry about the sensitivities of self-doubting writers when they voice their opinions.

I can feel myself getting bitter all the positivity. FFS, let readers put whatever they want in their bookmarks. Let readers write honest reviews, even if they're negative. The next time someone makes another "why isn't my fic getting kudos?" post, I really want to respond with "maybe people just don't like it?"

I'll probably just leave the subreddit, but I'll miss having somewhere to actually discuss FanFic instead of only reading it on my own.
